E que tal Frank Sinatra a cantar uma música sobre bioquímica? Bom, não é mesmo o Frank Sinatra quem canta, mas o Dr. Ahern adaptou a canção My Way :)

My 'A'
And now, the course is done
Except for all that final testing
Dear friends, let’s have some fun
There surely won’t be much protesting
We’ve had a busy term
Addressing all the content swiftly
And so I sit and squirm
B-B three fif-ty
Exams, there’s been a few
Our averages were somewhat lower
The grades are all askew
I wish that Ahern would go slower
I studied hard each time
And even though my grades were iffy
Oh no, I did not whine
B-B three fif-ty
Yes it was tough
You knew it too
I memorized
My knowledge grew
And through it all
I did not frown
I thought it up
And wrote it down
I fought the fight
I hope it’s right
B-B three fif-ty
I laughed, I cried, I swore
Just as I did here on the first day
But since, the term is o’er
Let’s all go out for thirsty Thursday
I guess I have to face
The fact that I am not a swifty
But oh, I need to ace
B-B three fif-ty
The end arrives
Our grades are out
As I log in
To my account
I say some things
I truly feel
I hope I don’t
Have to appeal
There’s no dismay
I made my ‘A’
B-B three fif-ty
